Alternating sets of push-ups and sit-ups: 15,15,20,25,25 for a total of 100 reps each. Took a two mile walk, was going to do pull-ups while out, but the local high school has built a 12 foot chain link fence around the pull-up bars since I was last there this summer.

Monday, January 2

Pullups/chinups 3,3,2

Dips - 10bw, 8bw+25, 6bw+35, 4bw+45 Finally got to add some weight to my dips, it's good fun! Left shoulder felt a slight tweak though, so left it at 4 sets.

Barbel Bench Press -
5x135 pounds
5x155
5x185
3x205
2x225
fx235 There were two gym employees hanging out behind my bench at this point. I'm going to press 235 pounds and this guy's hand is dangling right in my face. Should have been abled to nail 235 anyway though.

And let me officially take credit for the delish quesadilla meal mh references in this thread.

You know very well why I emailed you the menu! You thought I was bulking again just because my day included two bagels, two bean burritos and I was having a second dinner at 10:30pm. I just needed to straighten you out and show you what an actual bulking day looks like for me. That menu was pretty standard in August and September when I put on 20 pounds or about 1kg per week!

Of course I may be bulking by default when I am closer to you! Thanks for the wonderful quesadilla meal, the rice and lentils, the veggies, the tofurkey, the pumpkin pie etc. etc. etc.! I'm looking forward to experiencing "THE" Veganmadre Pizza of VB&F fame, this Saturday night!

michael - you gotta be strong man! no woman likes her man bulking, but you gotta do it! i cant stand being the fat bastard around here - lets have a race to 260lb!!!!

funny thing is that my bulking menu looks nothing like the one above. my key to bulking is not to move. its easier for me to eat normally and move less than move the same and eat more. i was 242lb on the scales last night

I think it's more just jealousy really. It's hard for a woman to see the huge amount of food I eat while cutting! She may faint when she actually sees my bulking diet in action.

You are unmistakeably the resident fat bastard now! You have me by a full 10 pounds, figures that now you want to make it a contest.

I'm going to spend a few months trimming the fat, can't let it accumulate forever you know! Second half of the year, who knows? I may push for 250 again! Maybe even more than 250.

You should combine my menu and your sloth lifestyle! You would be one huge bastard then!

Thanks man! It is pretty hardcore, that's why I am giving it a rest. I just couldn't take it any more after months of being stuffed up to the neck.
